It wasn't quite twice as fast and cost heaps more than the 4870 did at release. I'm not denying performance hasn't improved, price/performance hasn't improved all that much. The 6850 and 6870 are around what the 5850 and 5870 should have cost in the first place.
Heaps more? I paid $360 for my 5870, and I paid $299 for my 4870.
So you are trying to tell me $60 is heaps more, and not worth double the performance?
And yes the 5870 is switch as fast as 1 4870, cause the 5870 was beating/match a 4870x2 in benchmarks.
